"I don't know a single person in my church circles that disputes evolution. There's really no conflict between evolution and religion."

That totally depends on your interpretation of both evolution and religion, you cannot make such a broad statement, it just doesn't apply to everyone. And as for you ridiculing the guy who doesn't want to discuss the issue with you... religious people should not HAVE to explain their views on everything... it is their own personal beleifs. It is the same way on gay marriage... there are alot of good reasons for a constitutional amendment defending marriage, but I don't have to express them and explain them to every athiest liberal who hates traditional marriage. You have a right to question, but not a right to be answered.

Absolutely correct. But there's no justification for having unexplainable views, and then simultaneously expecting them to be forced into classrooms by law. If they are unexplainable, they belong in your church or your home.

Otherwise, why can't the Buddhists force their version of creation into the curriculum?

When you want your views enforced by government at gunpoint, you certainly should have to explain them.
